ARBOR DAY In IOWA.
The State superintendent Appoints
Day for Planting Trees on
School Grounds.

To Superintendent and School Officers
Your attention is hereby called to chap.
20, laws of 1882, which reads as follows:
Sec. I. The board of directors of each
district township and independent dis
trict, shall cause to be set out and prop
erly protected 10 or more shade trees on
each school house site belonging to the
district, where such number of trees are
not now growing, and such expense shall
be paid from the contingent fund
Sec. 2. 1t shall be the duty of the
county superintendent in visiting the
several schools in his county, to call the
attention Of any board Of directors ne
glecting to comply with the requirements
of this statue and the required number
of shade trees shall be planted as soon
thereafter as the season will admit.
Sec. 8. That section 1745, of the
Code, be amended by adding an addition
al item at the end Of said section, as fol
lows: 10. The number of trees set out
and in thrifty condition on such school
house grounds.
The entire absence of shade trees on
many of our school house sites, demon
strates the wisdom Of this law Its pro-
visions should be faithfully observed
Many districts have planted trees, which
in few years will add greatly to the
beauty and attractiveness of their
grounds; but owing to the fact that so
many Of our houses are in prairie dis
tricts and entirely destitute of trees, and
the farther fact that in many instances no
attempt has been made to comply with
the law, it has seemed necessary to pro-
vide some expedient by which a general
fulfillment may be secured In further.
ance of this aim, and to enhance the in
terests of the occasion by enlisting the
united effort of school officers. teachers
and pupils, as well as to strengthen the
significance of the work by uniformity
of action, hereby designate and appoint
Wednesday, May 4, as a day to be gener.
ally observed by all the schools of Iowa
as Arbor Day, and suggest that such
hours as may be deemed most convenient
be set apart for the planting of trees, to-
gether with the rendering of a short pro-
gramme of literary exercises and song, cal.
culated to impress the minds and hearts OF
the children with feelings of love and
veneration for the trees themselves, and
doubly endear them by association with
the history of some of the good and great
ones of the land. This may be suitably
accomplished by naming the trees and
investing them-singly, or in groups
with thoughts of the personalities Of
which they are to be the living emblems.
For instance: History would find fit rep,
resentation in Presidents Group"
loyalty and patriotism would be kept in
mind by "Statesmens' Group" a
Soldiers Group then appropriately
might be placed an Authors Group" q
Pioneers Group" etc, not to forget
the "Childrens' Friends" where many
names well known in the literature of the
land would be numbered. J. W. Akers

Gladstonc's Letter ON the Great Qn-s.
ton OF English Politics.

LONDON, April 1.-THE anti-coercion
meeting held In Hyde Park last night
was the biggest outdoor political meet
ing ever held in London. Gladstone has
issued to the miners in the north Of
Great Britain, majority Of whom are
enthusiastic followers OF him, the follow
ing letter, which amounts to q manifesto:
Il cannot refrain from calling your
attention to the meeting to be held In
Hyde Park next Monday, and to which
understand 10000 Of the workingmen OF
London intend generously TO devote their
holiday. IL ever there was time when
IL was to the interests of English work
ingman to bethink himself this is the
time. II IL the first time when the coor
cion bill II passed is to be passed by
England vote alone against tho voices OF
Scotland, Ireland and Wales II Is the
first time when such u bill will have been
passed under the sanction Of householders
at large. who were never onfranchised be-
fore tho last elections, 'S5 and 80, II Is
the first time coercion has been proposed
without an attempt by the ministry TO
show, what we know they cannot show
IA state OF exceptional and flagrant or
growing crime. IL England is TO coerce
Ireland for crime Ireland can reply that
relatively TO population, she has less
crime than England, In my opinion the
rejection of the bill Is even more needed
by England than Ireland For Ireland il
IL suffering. and she knows how To suf'
fer For England It isa question of shame
aud dishonor--and 90 cast away shame
and dlshonor Is the first business of the
great nation, In 1870 u meeting of En-,
glish workingmenllrst gave cilcctual force
tothe movement for Bulgaria, which was
brought about by the election of 1880,
May the meeting OF Monday next ring

ing and most causelcss coercion bill ever
submitted to parliament

MORE WAGES AND LESS WORK.
The Strike or Over SIX Thousand Chi
cago Carpenters.

CHICAGO, April 8.--Over 5000 carpen
tiers have gone out on strike. They
haye resolved that nothing shall be done
In their line until all bosses or at least II
majority Of them, have acceded TO their
demands for eight hours per day and 30
cents per hour Thus far only 90 en-
ployers have expressed willingness TO
come to terms with the men, while the
300 other bosses have either refused or
kept silent The $500 carpenters en-
ployed by the various contractors and
shop owners throughout the city and
suburbs ceased work and building opera
tons in this city will be suspended indef.
nitcly. The leaders Of the carpenters,
who after long struggle last summer
failed to carry out their demands for
eight hours and an increase of wages.
decided then TO renew the contest, and
think that now, when the building enter.
prise is reviving and carpenters are
wanted, the time has arrived to make the
employers yield. Three months ago the
council gave notice to employers that at
the beginning of April the men would
demand 80 cents an hour, eight hours TO
constitute days work. The wages have
been averaging % cents, and the hours
have varied from eight to 10. A confer
ence to arrange settlement was formal
ly requested from the employers, but the
master carpenters have to all appearances
studiously ignored the whole movement.

THE HAYTI TROUBLE.
Prospect OF an Amicable Settlement
with England.

SANTIAGO, De Cuba, April 12.-News
has been received from Hayti to the effect
that an amicable settlement of the Brit
ish claims may be expected. The Hayti
assembly has had two special sittings,
one public and one private, to consider
the demand made by Hill, the British
special agent now in Hayti. He wishes
to have the principle admitted. President
Solomon declined taking an action or ex-
preston of opinion from the assembly.
To admit the principle is to admit the
claim of 81 900, 600 The island of Tor
tugas was offered to England two years
ago in settlement of this claim. The
French frigate LaMinerve has arrived here
for orders. She was ordered to proceed
to Hayti. 1t has been stated that the
orders said that trouble was imminent
The vessel proceeded to Port-Au- Prince.
The highly alarming rumors that have
reached this city from Hayti seem to be
baseless. as the United States steamer
Yantic left there three days ago for this
port and the Haytan man. of-war Des
Salines, Capt Cooper, is also here.
Cooper stated positively that the rumors
of revolutionary movement there and
another massacre of mullatocs were abso-
lutely groundless.

OF tho republican ticket by 10000 The
notable features OF the contest In Detroit,
